Red rashy patches on cheeks
I wonder if you could advise me about red rashy patches that have appeared on my cheeks? I am 55 and first noticed them a couple of years ago, they are slightly raised bumps and are worse on my right cheek. They are also getting progressively more visible.
I have attached a photo and hope you can help.
With many thanks,

Re: Red rashy patches on cheeks
Thank you for your question. You have a skin condition called rosacea. You should use sun protection in summer. You can also ask you dermatologist or GP to prescribe you Soolantra cream and Mirvaso gel. You can read more about Rosacea and treatments on my webpage.
I hope this is helpful.
